110+ days. Capsicum chinense. Open Pollinated. California Reaper Peach Pepper. The plant produces good yields of 3" long by 3" wide wrinkled Habanero peppers. Peppers are extremely hot and turn from light green to peach when mature. The plant has dark green leaves, green stems, and white flowers. It has a fruity and sweet flavor, but the intense heat level kicks in shortly after eating the pepper. Excellent for beef jerky, jerk sauces, pickling, and making salsa, hot sauce, and seasoning spice powder. Be very, very careful handling this pepper. This pepper was created by crossing a Carolina Reaper and Jay's Peach Ghost Scorpion. The California Reaper is similar to the Carolina Reaper in hotness.

Hot Pepper Seed Planting Information:
Some hot pepper varieties come from tropical humid regions and some varieties come from dry desert regions. The temperature, moisture, and air circulation all play a role in growing plants from seeds. Too little heat, too much moisture, and lack of air circulation will cause poor results. Do not use jiffy peat pots, plugs, or potting soil as the soil becomes too dry or too wet, which can lead to disease and fungus. We have experienced disease and low germination when using these types of products. Use Miracle Gro Seed Starting Material for best germination results. Read the Hot Pepper Growing Tips and Planting Instructions for information on growing hot peppers from seeds. Please take time to watch the Hot Pepper Planting Instructions Movie . Plants can grow 1 to 7 ft tall.
Requires fertile soil in a well drained location in the garden. Apply mulch, grass clippings, or straw around the base of the plant.
Water well with soaker hoses during dry and hot spells.
Use Slow Release (6 Month) Fertilizer when transplanting outdoors. Apply Miracle Gro Liquid Fertilizer every two weeks.
Harvest hot peppers when fully mature using garden scissors, so you don't damage the plant. Pick peppers as they mature to encourage new buds to form.
Days to Harvest after Planting Outdoors: 60 to 210 days
